Operational Impact
The implementation of Check Point Express brought several operational benefits to The Equitable Bank. The high-performance VPN network was crucial for retaining the most productive loan originators, as it provided them with secure, instant access to information while interacting with customers. The bank's business continuity strategy was strengthened with Check Point Express, which allowed for automatic failover in case a security gateway went down, ensuring non-stop security. The secure VPN connection between the main office and the remote disaster recovery site allowed the bank to turn its two existing locations into one secure virtual data center, improving performance and availability. The bank was also able to manage all VPNs and firewalls from a single SmartCenter console at the head office, simplifying management for the small IT staff. | |
